About: When I was 16 I worked in a dog groomers, giving dogs baths and drying them. Then I started looking after my auntie’s dog overnight and walked him when they were away. 2 years ago I got my puppy Cooper. We have done lots of training, I love taking him out on walks we always try new places!! I am pet first aid trained. I’m currently working part time at a church with children and young people, I work in the mornings so I can do early walks, afternoon or evening as well as drop ins in the afternoon and evening. I am pet first aid training certified and your dog will. Be supervised at all time along the walks and I want your dog to feel comfortable so if I notice any distress we will go walk somewhere else.

I provide reliable, compassionate care for dogs, cats and other small pets, always tailored to their individual routines and personalities. I have regular clients who rely on me for daily walks, drop-in visits and puppy care, so I’m very used to managing different needs throughout the day. From energetic dogs that love a good adventure to young puppies who need multiple visits for toilet breaks, feeding and playtime, I make sure every pet gets the attention they need. I also hold qualifications in dog care and continue learning about dog nutrition to ensure I provide the best care possible. DBS checked, Insured, Pet First Aid Qualifed Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, especially as a dog owner myself!

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid! My passion stems from family pets, friends pets and my own feline friend who I’ve had for 15 years. When I am abroad I have to stop myself paying for all the strays to come home with me 😂 Im currently only working part time so I have mornings, evenings and whole days free to provide love and care for animals! I love going for walks so a puppy pal is always welcome to join me! I also love chilling and cuddles so feline friends can always watch some TV with me I have experience with administering medication and understanding signs of distress. My own cat requires a special diet so I have understanding of nutritional needs and what pets need for a balanced lifestyle. I understand the importance of keeping a dog leashed when on a walk and what to avoid when other dogs are about. My partner has 3 lively dogs so I’m used to wet kisses and knee scratches 😂
About: Since I was a child, I’ve always been surrounded by family and friends’ pets, taking care of them as if they’re my own. From that I gained a natural love of caring for all dogs/cats. I’ve looked after many dogs, from two adventurous Newfoundlands to dainty and humble Cockapoos. My young energy is paired well with playful pups, however I’ve always been complimented for my laid-back attitude which is suited for less spirited, older dogs. I have had 3 years of trained experience, but most of my life casually caring for pooches. My cousin suggested this app to me, as she believes I’m a top dog sitter and I have the skills/ability necessary for the role. My skills vary from training puppies, walking (young/old) dogs, keeping them healthy, cleaning, following owners instructions, sticking to a feeding schedule and nurturing them always. I currently work part-time, so I have a grand amount of free time to look after your dogs. I’m available weekdays and most weekends, with never too much getting in the way. Unfortunately my home isn’t somewhere that I would be able to care for your pets as I live in a top floor flat, with no outside area to cater for dogs/cats. Although, at your home I will always abide by the rules for keeping your pets safe and secure. Adjusting well to new environments, I will reassure your pets with keeping everything in your home the way it should be and sticking to their schedule of activities (their time outside, feeding and more).

About: Hi, I’m Liv! I know leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, so my goal is to make them feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet’s personality, their routine, provide plenty of love, care and attention, and most importantly keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re safe and having a great time! I currently work part time as a waitress/bar tender, so my rota changes weekly. On my days off, or if I have an early finish/late start I would love nothing more than to spend my time with animals! I live in a ground floor flat with a large garden, I also have a crate if your dog will find safety in one/is used to one. Dogs are more than welcome on the sofa and/or bed, wherever they’re comfortable!
“Lynn walked my dog for nearly an hour even though I had only booked half hour! She sent me updates and photos and I felt very comfortable letting my fur baby go out with her. We spoke at length before she left and I felt reassured as I had never done this before! I would definitely use Lynn again. Thanks Lynn he has been asleep all afternoon x”

“Olivia is such a sweetie!! We needed a last min dog walker and she was able to help us out! She sent us lots of updates throughout, it was amazing :) Our Roly Poly was so happy, and we will definitely be booking Olivia again in the future!”


About: I have a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma - CPD certified - I am insured and I have a DBS check. I take caring for pets very seriously and provide them with safety, care and affection while you're away. I am a uni student, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets outside of my studies. I am quite flexible. I am able to look after pets on some weekdays, evenings and weekends, and I am available full-time outside of term time. Due to my flat's pet restrictions, I only provide pet care services in my clients' homes, such as house sitting and home visits. This also helps your pets feel more at ease as they remain in a familiar environment while you are away.
About: I will treat your fur baby like one of the family. They will get lots of attention and cuddles but also time to snooze. We go for walks in the park and/or woods so they will get a chance to stretch their legs too. I am a stay at home mum with a 4 year old. She is in preschool most of the day which frees me up to look after your fur babies. I have a 6 year old shih tzu who is friendly and kind natured. We go on 3 walks a day, including toilet breaks. Additionally, I have a fenced garden for your fur baby to run around, play etc.
“Elisangela was absolutely brilliant with our fur babies. She has a way with dogs, and even Alfie who is shy dachshund - took to her swiftly. Great communicator, she is also a warm and lovely person…. She followed notes etc - everything was perfect! We highly recommend her 🫶🏻 thanks Elisangela”

“🌟 Georgia is absolutely brilliant! Her communication was spot on with regular updates, which we really appreciated. She was super flexible and took such great care of our Milo during his walk 🐶💖 We're sure he loved every moment — he was even waiting by the door on his second day morning, excited for Georgia to take him out again! 🐾😊 Highly recommended!”

Thank you to Francesco for walking my Labrador for the first time today! Francesco arrived with plenty of time for me to hand Nia over. He clearly loves dogs, knows how to handle an excitable lab and how to put them at ease - Nia loved him straight away. Would 100% ask Francesco to walk Nia again. Thanks again!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Southend-on-Sea. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
